Now, if these case issues were for some reasons very frequent, it might be worth adding dedicated support for it. But this seems dubious to me -- do you have any evidence for this? Indeed, do you have more than just the one example?

I don't have another example, but i have seen it many times. This happens when people use different repo's to send patches and by mistake have mentioned names in different case in them in their local .git/config files.
